CHANGES IN POSTAGE STAMPS.
just What They Will he, md the Reasons
for Making Them.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2O.--There seems to be
a decided misunderstanding concerning the
intentions Of the Post Office Department with
reference to the changes In the series Of adj
hesive stamps. Major Howard, chief OF the
stamp division OF tho department, says that
the only change OF any kind In the detached
stamps will be in the two-cent stamp. This is
at present metallic rod. About the middle
OF September all those issued from the de-
partment will be green. The reason for this
change is that until the minimum rate Of let
ter postage was reduced TO two cents, the color
of tho stamp most generally used, namely. the
three-cont, was green, and the Post Office Of
licials think that that color gave more general
satisfaction to tho public than any other. 1t
WAS the intention of the department to make
numerous other changes in the colors OF adhe-
sive stamps at the same timo that the change
in the two-cont variety is to 80 into effect. but
1t was found that the contractors have large
supply OF the current series on hand, and II
tho colors are ordered changed at once 1t will
entail q serious loss upon them. For this rem
son the changes contemplated will DO ordered
as fast rs the supply of each denomination is
exhausted
The following changes In the impressed
stamps on stamped envelopes have been or
dered to 20 into effect as soon Us the contrac-
tora n f,at tba atpck randy.
